Yeah, once the technology stabilizes and the legal and regulatory frameworks have been established, there will be a big wave of adoption. I predict that many in bigger cities will give up on owning their own car, and join car sharing services. Then you can choose between a private car just for you, or a shared ride where the car optimizes routes and picks up multiple people. Other benefits: it's just you? take a small 2 person car. On the way to a party with some friends? Get a nice Mercedes to drive you there. Need to transport some furniture? Get a pickup. Of course this only holds for cities and densely populated suburban regions. Or if you don't have to drive long routes on a regular basis.

On the way to a party with some friends? Get a nice Mercedes to drive you there. Need to transport some furniture? Get a pickup. That's how I and many others are already living their lives. I don't see how self-driving figures into that development, really...
